Error. Is this the link that can only be viewed if you are in Canada?
If not, then the link is now bad.

When you get contacted by the field computer (or the user pushes a button to say that the match has started)
IMediaControl* pifController = NULL;
m_pifGraph->QueryInterface(IID_IMediaControl,(void**)&pifCont roller) // gets the media control pointer from the main graph
pifController->Play(); // starts the graph running
pifController->Release(); // releases our COM reference
// yay! now the graph is playing and saving to a file!

Can you just base it off of a sound input? The match start sound for example? I know this a question coming from a non-programmer like me, but how hard would it be to set up something to record and be started somehow by the match start & end sounds??

Then again, someone can just sit there at the feed box at the regional and start and stop recording manually as well.
